Abstract

A method for applying decorations to packages includes applying a main decoration to the package, and applying a detachable part label with a reduced adhesion strength. The part label is provided on a region of the main decoration and takes up part of a surface region of the main decoration. The part label is printed on by using a digital printing process controlled by a computer that relies on a digital printing mask that is stored or generated by the computer. The computer controls the print head to cause it to print a print on the part label after the part label has been applied to the package.
